Once upon a time, in the sun-dappled landscape of South Carolina, there was a gang of kids known as The Palmetto Pelters. They were famous across the glistening stretches of Myrtle Beach to the historic nooks of Charleston for their love of a particular sport - Lacrosse. These kids were as different as the various barbecue sauces the state is known for. There was the swift-footed Susie, who could zig-zag across the field faster than a jackrabbit. Jack was tall as a pine tree with arms that could launch the lacrosse ball like a cannon. Tiny Tim was anything but tiny. He was built like a brick smokehouse, and he stood in the goal, blocking shots as solidly as the Fort Sumter. And then there was their ringleader, Lenny the Lizard. Now, don't be confused. Lenny wasn't your everyday, average lizard. He was a cool, Lacrosse-loving, shade-wearing, imaginary lizard who coached The Palmetto Pelters. He would scuttle around the field, his little lizard tail whipping up dust, shouting out commands, "Faster, Susie! Aim higher, Jack! Stand strong, Tiny Tim!" The kids loved Lenny, and under his coaching, they became the finest Lacrosse team in all of South Carolina. Lacrosse, in this sunny southern state, was not just about flinging a ball; it was about teamwork, passion, and listening to a coaching lizard. But most of all, it was about fun. So, if you ever find yourself in South Carolina, turn your gaze towards the field where The Palmetto Pelters play. There, amongst the cheers and laughter, you might just see a cool little lizard, wearing shades, strutting his stuff.
